A practicing attorney should not sign in a legal proceeding as surety, but if bond is approved, the attorney is estopped from alleging its invalidity and it may be enforced against him. In re Estate of Kothe, 131 Neb. 531, 268 N.W. 464 (1936), judgment of affirmance vacated on rehearing, 131 Neb. 780, 270 N.W. 117 (1936).
A practicing attorney is not a proper surety on an appeal bond, but bond is not invalid. Chase v. Omaha L. & T. Co., 56 Neb. 358, 76 N.W. 896 (1898).
Attorney should not become a surety upon a bond in a legal proceeding, and if he signs such a bond the clerk should not approve it. If it is approved, the surety is bound thereby. Luce v. Foster, 42 Neb. 818, 60 N.W. 1027 (1894); Tessier v. Crowley, 17 Neb. 207, 22 N.W. 422 (1885).
